<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>i have just finished my college apps; previously i had set my mind on majoring in biz/finance of some sort. however, some of friends who are super-well connected (think super legacy, Bush-style) have been saying that as i am not the most industrious guy around, i might end up better trying to score some connected in a course like art history at top schools, which is filled, as such courses are, with inherited money. (i.e. bet on nepotism, not survival of the fittest, as i am not the fittest). nonetheless, this really registered with me, as art history was my fav. class in high school, and if it can get me the same white-shoe finance job, then i am totally willing to do it as my college major, as my interest in business is a pragmatist, not an egotistical one. </p>
<p>i realise this might have some suggestion that is pretty close to moral degeneracy, but i am looking at this in realistic terms, as i feel that i can't just do this whole anal process i just went thru (spending hours trying to do the right things for the resume, so i can get into the right college, and so forth, and then the horrendous app process) again for jobs and again for grad school.</p>
<p>so, throw in your two cents. please, condemn not.</p>
